The New MS880 AS Compared To An 088

[cuttinties]

No.......same distance away.

Boot size the same? I can't really tell in the pics.

Does the 361 coil fit or am I remembering wrong?

Is the port timing on the new jug better than the older ones? I thought someone said they were but not sure

 

[Mastermind]

Probably cracked from sittin so long, wonder what year it is. As I bought it as NOS

Looks like it was smashed when it was assembled.

No. The 880 is smaller.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

The MS361 coil works like a charm.

Putting a degree wheel on now Mike.

880 coil on the left......nasty 361 coil on the right.

I waited a while to say it. Figured someone else might guess that.

A race guy said the newer cylinder was more like the 084 timing but with the limited coil couldn't take advantage of the better timing.

Well it looks like there is one in perfect condition right next to it.

I'll just use that one.

 

[Mastermind]

I like the way you think Keith.

 

[cuttinties]

Sorry for the dumb questions. Carry on

 

[Mastermind]

They aren't dumb questions my friend.

Keep em coming.

good thing most piston prices dropped drastically last month!!!

Pressure from the aftermarket?

 

[Mastermind]

I'm not so sure I'm gonna go with the larger intake parts right off the bat.......

 

[Mastermind]

Pressure from the aftermarket?

Very well could be. I bought a MS461 piston a couple of weeks ago for the same price as a Meteor.

I don't care what caused it but I'm happy about it. Makes buying oem stuff a better solution for saws you plan to sell.

Pressure from the aftermarket?

Gotta be. A while ago I took a survey for them (stihl) asking about their prices on certain items. I think they figured out they were loosing sales on replacement parts to aftermarket because if their ridiculous prices.

Ted said he was interested in seeing both pistons.......well. The other saw is lightly scored too.

You think the NE piston run in the OE jug?

 

[Mastermind]

Yeah Ted.......the 084, and 088/880 piston will run it any of those.

 

[Deets066]

What do ya suppose scored the piston?

 

[Mastermind]

I'd say too lean a tune. The limited coil makes this saw damned tough to tune.

 

[Deets066]

I can't remember off hand what I was running for rpm. What are they limited at?

 

[Mastermind]

Hell........your saw ain't the limited one.
